Hi All the guys who saw this video.I would like to say a few things,at the time this GDR doping thing was practised there was not much research done into it as juices were a new thing in the market.These sportsperson saying that they didnt know what was given to them is completly baseless because there is hardly any athlete or human so lame and dumb whose ass is being injected by needles everyday and he/she doesnt know what it is.Now when the side effects are known i havent seen any person like Andreas Krieger coming up again with same side effects.If you have ever seen a Ms Olympia constest you will find girls very musculat but they dont develop beard and all infact when they stop competing they live there life normally moreover all atheletes clean or not have problesm with their joints i mean atleast 90% others being lucky.Sports demand a lot frm your body and they ofcourse wear down the body.There is an article on steroids named ‘Steroids forever’ on http://www.t-nation.com that talks abt a person who has been on juices since his teenage and has no health problems.Steroids is something that is most misunderstood and i guess painkillers and anitibiotics also put as much sterss on liver heart and stomach if not more as any other steroids.But steroids should be used with caution always and i havent seen a layman running 100 m in 9.67 secs even by using steroids everyday.The athletes are also very gifted and the world records are almost unbeatable without talent training and ofcourse steroids.
The American Dream!
People should stop sticking their heads in the sand. High Performance athletes have nothing to do with SPORTS, they are machines finely tuned to perform. Every athlete in professional, or High Competition, activity his on drugs. The East Germans only got caught because the winners write “Official History” for the dumb masses, that are only more then happy to eat it up and rejoice.
This summer we will have three major competitions, the EURO 2008, the Olympics and the Tour de France, so the needles will be in top demand. More then 75% of the athletes will be flying high on every new designer drug available, the ones that are clean you will see coming in last, or you probably won’t even see them since they will not qualify for any major final…
Yes kids if you want to compete in any High Performance “Sport” you can’t be shy of the needle. If you want to stay clean, maybe, get a proper job and practice your favorite sprot on an amateur level.
P.S. Totally agree with Sebastian Sachse. Stop throwing stones at the ex-communist countries because everybody’s roof is made of glass and somebody might throw stones back at you…
